Why I’m running

My reason for running is quite simple, I believe that I am the best person to represent this district.  I have been representing it for the majority of my life, and I want to bring this life experience to Olympia to make sure all the voices from this district - past, present, and future - are heard.  For those that know me across the district and the City, very well see this as a natural progression as someone who has dedicated over three decades of service to the district and the City. As someone who has lived in the 37th my entire adult life, my family and I have seen first hand the dramatic and in some cases drastic changes that we rapidly face district-wide.  As a homeowner in the 37th district and a proud parent of children who attended school in the 37th as well as a business owner in the 37th, I bring a special sense of clarity as to how we can work together to ensure that the 37th district lives up to its potential for all of its citizens regardless of their pay grade.

As a lifelong advocate for the environment and a proven track record of enhancing green spaces, I keenly understand the intricacies of environmental justice, climate change and the sense of urgency that is required to not only maintain but also grow green spaces across our district and our state to ensure that the Evergreen State stays green.  As a consistent volunteer in the 37th with many organizations (including those I have founded), I have a proven track record of consensus building, vision, innovation, and most importantly, results.
